Permiso de Volar
Alejandro Lerner
Flight Permit
I'll dress slowly
I'll take some dreams
I won't ask for permission
to be able to escape
I'll take to the road
a map of the skies
and I'll look for the space
where I'll take off
Don't ask why
you have to fly to be happy
from the sky to the ground
the world is what you carry within you
They'll look at me strangely
they'll say I'm not sane
and I'll fly lightly
to where the sea begins
I won't take anything else
lighten my wings
just some memories
that won't stop me from dreaming
Don't ask why
I want to give my life and my faith
there's nothing to sign
there's no flight permit
Don't ask why
you have to fly to be happy
from the sky to the ground
the world is what you carry within you
In a cloud of emotion
to where the sun hides
Flying to immensity
Flying without time or reason
with wings in the heart
without a flight permit
Don't ask why
you have to fly to be happy
from the sky to the ground
the world is what you carry within you
Don't ask why
I want to give my life and my faith
there's nowhere to sign
there's no flight permit
